Jeremy Hong

As an enthusiastic and enterprising electronic systems engineer, I possess a diverse range of skillsets that span from hardware design to reverse engineering. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to have hands-on experience with hardware, spending a significant amount of time in the lab taking apart hardware for reverse engineering or bringing up boards, including an ASIC, for the first time. For this reason, I am seeking opportunities that involve interaction with hardware and lab access, rather than software engineering or full-time desk jobs that do not offer this. My expertise lies in turning abstract ideas into hardware, managing everything from circuit design and schematic capture to board layout, assembly, soldering, bring-up, debugging, test, checkout, and even some firmware development. I have extensive experience in BGA soldering, and I am skilled at hand-soldering components as small as 008004. I take pride in my work and am confident that my skills and passion for hardware design will make me a valuable asset to any team.

In my free time, I am deeply immersed in DIY/Maker electronics, amateur radio, and continuously learning about new technology. I am always seeking opportunities to acquire new hardware and stay ahead of my peers by anticipating future trends and developments. These pursuits are not just hobbies, but a passion that fuels my drive to push boundaries and explore new possibilities.

I have invested in a significant amount of my own money towards professional-grade RF and electronics test equipment for personal use. Some notable examples include a Keysight oscilloscope, Rohde & Schwarz RF signal generator, Signal Hound spectrum analyzer and signal generator, Tektronix vector network analyzer, and more. These high-quality tools allow me to conduct precise measurements and analysis, which are essential in my work and personal projects.
